NORFOLK, Va. - Morgan State's Tiwian Kendley and Norfolk State's Kyle Williams have been selected as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Co-Men's Basketball Players of the Week, the conference announced today. Howard's R.J. Cole was named Rookie of the Week while Morgan State’s Phillip Carr was selected as Defensive Player of the Week.
